Separation of copper and arsenic and separation of copper sulfide arsenic ore
In the past years, as people's sustainable
development awareness has been continuously strengthened, more and more
people have begun to pay attention to the recycling of resources. As
one of the main machines in the metal recycling industry, metal balers
can compress light metals into high-density metal blocks, which greatly
save storage and transportatin space.
Aluminum Cans Baler Machinery is a machine suitable for baling and packing various aluminum cans. It is idea equipment for recycling various metal cans. Being ideal for pressing kinds of cans, includes ubc, aluminum cans, tin cans, steel cans etc. With strong power, have high throughput. With Siemens Motor, Schneider electric system, Germany Dillinger Wearing plate. Machines are built to last. The cans baler Press Machine press kinds of cans, includes ubcs, aluminum cans, tin cans etc. Baling loose cans into high density bales, to save storage and delivery space.

The separation of copper and arsenic is mainly to solve the problem of separation of copper minerals and arsenopyrite, which can be summarized as follows:
(1) Highly selective collectors . It is important to use selective collectors to expand the sorting of the two minerals. For example, a combination of xanthate and butyl ammonium black drug, a mixture of xanthate and sulfur and nitrogen, butyric acid ester (OSN-43), anthranol xanthate, and phosphoaminophenol are better for a particular ore under certain conditions. The selectivity. The addition of an auxiliary collector DPG mill together with 8-hydroxyquinoline or inhibitors to improve the recovery efficiency and the separation of the noble metal.
(2) Lime-based combination inhibitor: Lime is a commonly used alkaline pH adjuster, which can increase the pH value of the slurry and also promote the dissolution or oxidation of the mineral surface. However, the amount of lime should be carefully controlled, and if it is excessive, it will also have a certain inhibitory effect on copper sulfide minerals. Therefore, when the single lime suppression effect is not good, other inhibitors such as sodium cyanide, zinc sulfate, and SO 2 may be used. Studies have shown that lime -SO 2 -Zn (CN) 2 - complex combination of agents in combination, the most effective inhibition arsenopyrite. When the ore contains a large amount of secondary copper minerals, when the aerated sand is activated by Cu 2 + and the floatability is high, lime can be used together with sodium sulfide; at this time, S 2 - and Cu 2 + form insoluble precipitates, thereby eliminating Cu 2 + activation.
(3) Oxidation method: The poisonous sand is easy to oxidize, and the aerobic oxidation (pH 5.7-6.5), long-time stirring or adding various oxidants can strongly suppress the floatability of the arsenopyrite. Commonly used bleach oxidant, potassium permanganate, potassium weight chromium and manganese dioxide, the strength of the order of several oxidants are: bleach> potassium permanganate> potassium dichromate> manganese dioxide.
Increasing the temperature of the slurry accelerates the oxidation process. Experimental work has shown that a large number of, in the case where the temperature increase of the pulp, by oxidation of sulfide minerals sequential part degree of intensity is: arsenopyrite> pyrrhotite> chalcopyrite. The control temperature is 40 to 50 ° C, which can strengthen the inhibition of poisonous sand.
(IV) Inorganic inhibitors such as sulphuric acid: Inhibition of arsenopyrite with sulphuric acid or thiosulfate. The test results show that the order of inhibition of toxic sand is: Knox drug Liu > sodium thiosulfate > sodium sulfite.
(5) Organic Inhibitors: In addition to inorganic inhibitors, from the perspective of environmental protection, there is a growing interest in finding new and effective effective organic inhibition. Organic inhibitors of arsenopyrite include dextrin, tannin, lignosulfonate, polyacrylamide, etc., and it has been found that the combination of an organic inhibitor and an inorganic agent has an obvious effect.
Second, the practice of copper sulfide arsenic ore separation
The research results at home and abroad show that the separation of arsenopyrite and copper sulfide minerals can be completely realized by using the existing beneficiation technology .
Japan has reported that for copper and arsenic mixed concentrates that have been adsorbed, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite are in an easy-floating state. Lime and sodium cyanide can be added to the mixed concentrate, and the pH is stirred in the range of 10.5 to 11.5. Then, the pH is adjusted to a weak acid pH of 5 to 7 by using sulfuric acid or SO 2 , and the two minerals are separated by using only a foaming agent to float the chalcopyrite without adding a collector. The result is that when the copper-arsenic mixed concentrate contains 3.81% copper and 15.28% arsenic, the copper concentrate grade is 19.4%, the arsenic content is 0.24%, the copper operation recovery rate is 92.4%, the arsenic concentrate grade is 18.6%, and the copper content is 0.35. %, arsenic recovery rate is 92%.
China has also made great progress in the copper-arsenic separation process. For example, Jiangxi Fuyang Copper Mine uses sulfite-lime method to suppress arsenopyrite and pyrite in a weak acid medium with pH=5-7.0. The methyl thiourethane and the xanthate flotation copper minerals, when the ore contains 0.7% arsenic, the copper concentrate contains less than 0.3% arsenic, and the copper recovery rate and concentrate quality are improved. The Leiping Mine in Cangzhou, Hunan Province uses lime to suppress the arsenopyrite, so that the arsenic content of the copper concentrate is reduced from 2% to less than 0.5%.
